Weird I know, but whilst in London last week we bought some Chocolate Pasta from Hotel Chocolate. It’s just pasta made with cocoa in it and the woman in the shop was a little surprised when we said we were going to make a dessert with it. She had only heard of savoury recipes being made with it, some of which do sound quite nice. I’d imagine a nice a nice savoury pasta sauce with some\u00a0chili\u00a0in it would go well with the chocolate flavour of the pasta.<\/p>\n
However, tonight we tried a much sweeter stickier delight that was really easy to make.<\/p>\n
I simply boiled the pasta as you normally would, until it was almost coked. Meanwhile in a a frying pan I toasted some walnuts, removed them from the pan and then made a caramel sauce by boiling equal quantities (50g) of \u00a0butter and dark brown sugar together until they formed a hot boiling syrup and then stirred 100ml of double cream through this before adding the toasted walnuts. It was then simply a matter of stirring the pasta into the sauce and serving it piping hot and drizzled with cream.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately the photos\u00a0don’t do it justice as it was rather nice! Even Morgan gobbled up a whole bowlful. I’ll just have to\u00a0make\u00a0some more so that I can get some better photos!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
